To be indigenous is to use our dreams, not as a way of thinking about what we are not, but was a way to interpret our reality, our circumstances. To be indigenous is to have a sense of community as a whole, a sense of exchanging and talking until we all have a similar vision of where we are going. To be indigenous is consensus and is reproducing certain ways of doing things. Being indigenous is to have a collective memory of our myths, the ramifications of our concepts, and of what is behind our language.
